Neha Narula, director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) at the MIT Media Lab, has been selected for the Rockefeller Foundation's 2025 Bellagio Center Residency. 

Through participation in this prestigious fellowship, she will join the ranks of such alumni as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Maya Angelou.
